April: Cleaner Skies, Smaller Surf
April marks a noticeable transition toward smaller, cleaner conditions. The average swell height eases to 1.3m (4.3ft) and the average period drops slightly to 9.6s. NE swell output starts to concentrate even more, with NE at 36.6 percent and ENE at 25.9 percent, while the larger 2-2.5m range becomes much less common. The Point is still rideable and fun, but the bigger, firing days of winter are increasingly spaced out.
The wind quality improves, with ideal wind for surfing at 72 percent. E and ENE winds account for 18.2 and 24.0 percent respectively, giving many mornings of clean, offshore surface conditions. Air temperatures rise to 26.4°C, water temps are 27.0°C, and precipitation increases to 2.18 mm/day. It is a great month for log-heavy sessions or high-performance waves on the better swell windows.
